Our stay at Fanis' home was wonderful. It has everything you could possibly need and is in perfect condition. Fanis was generous enough to leave some snacks on the kitchen counter and several cold drinks in the fridge waiting for us. The kitchen also has a reverse osmosis water system, which is SO helpful when you want to drink a lot of water without buying so many bottles every day. The parking was incredibly easy with the big lot right in front of the home. There's a number of really good restaurants, shops, and a beach within walking distance. It's very quiet at night with the home being away from the main streets and the blackout shades I always appreciate when sleeping. We had a great time staying here!
